I am looking for most efficient VM software to run Windows machines on Linux - Mint** at the moment. *Virtualbox is ok, however, I have difficulties to properly assign video memory to my machine. VM is limited to 256MB and any app with some graphics requirements is sluggish. Is there a solution to properly assign graphics from my main machine to VM? Currently VM is not able to detect my graphics (NVIDIA GTX960M), instead there is some integrated (I suppose dummy) card. On the other hand I heard something about PCI passthrough. The thing is I don't understand this concept well and what are the requirements here.
